If, when launching the twinBASIC IDE, you are notified of missing files, the most likely reason is that the anti-virus software installed on your PC has quarantined some of the files needed by twinBASIC, mistakenly thinking that they contain a virus or other malware. Such erroneous detections are common with newly released software, so please be assured this is just a false-positive detection --- see also [the previous entry](#false-scanner-alerts) for context.

To get the twinBASIC IDE to launch successfully, configure your anti-virus software to disregard the twinBASIC executable files (EXEs and DLLs) within the root folder, and the `bin` subfolder. This usually means adding the root folder and the `bin` subfolder to an 'exception list' in your anti-virus software.

After restoring the missing EXE and DLL files, you should find that launching the IDE via the `twinBASIC.exe` file works as expected.

Please direct all negative emotions to your overactive anti-virus vendor :)
